The Pro version adds consolidation and is full multi user, multi CC/Company capable. 

4CastPro is designed for quick and easy collaborative business forecasting via your office network, distributable spreadsheets or the web (via optional asp web modules). All data is saved securely into a backend database.
The system works just as effectively for a single company, single CC entity allowing you to reforecast your business easily.
The jet (MS Access) database has been chosen for portability and is capable of storing the performance of the group/company over time in a standard group chart of account format. Since this is not a transaction based system a more scaleable solution is not required
